In keeping with its annual tradition, Brigham Young University will host Passover Seder Services April 6, 7, 13, 14 and 28 in the Wilkinson Student Center.

The seder service will include unleavened bread, the bitter herbs and other traditions of Passover, accompanied by a commentary from Victor L. Ludlow, BYU professor of ancient scripture, who conducts the annual event.
In addition, Ludlow will host a Passover Seder Service Workshop Saturday, March 10, for those interested in learning more about the Passover or conducting services of their own. The workshop will begin at 10 a.m. in 3228 WSC and admission will be $10, which includes a luncheon. Tickets will go on sale Feb. 15 and will be available in 271 Joseph Smith Building.
BYU holds the Passover services to enrich the community’s appreciation of the Old Testament and the modern Jewish celebration honoring the flight of Israel from Egypt. The experience aids in making strong connections between the Old and New Testaments and understanding ancient traditions.
